How much Fibregenix should I feed my horse?

Aug 27, 2019

Whatever the bodyweight is, round up to the nearest 50g. So if you have a horse that weighs say 420kg, round it up so that he is being fed 450g per day.  This will ensure that he is getting the right amount of everything.  This is particularly important if the weight has been established using a weigh tape, as these can often underestimate bodyweight by several kg.

Can I split my horse’s daily allowance?

Aug 27, 2019

Absolutely! The smaller the feeds the better for the horse, so if your balancer can be split that’s great, but as it’s only a small amount anyway it is quite safe to feed it in one meal if absolutely necessary.

Swapping from one feed balancer to another

Aug 27, 2019

If you need to swap from one Fibregenix balancer to another, this can usually be done over 3-4 days, as the appearance of the product is pretty much the same, it’s just the nutritional make-up that is different, and hence 3-4 days is usually adequate.  With a particularly sensitive horse, we’d advise increasing the balancer to balancer swap to 7-10 days.

What other fibre products can I feed?

Aug 27, 2019

Fibre will include hay, chaff, beet pulp, products like Maxisoy, fibre cubes etc – there are many fibre feeds available on the market.  The choice is yours, but try and keep it simple with as few products as possible in the diet.  Less is more!  Remember you may be paying extra for a fortified fibre product ie which contains added vitamins and minerals that is unnecessary when on Fibregemix and straight fibre.

Am I feeding the correct amount of Fibregenix

Aug 27, 2019

It looks such a small amount compared to the couple of kilos of hard feed I’ve been feeding, is it really enough?

Remember Fibregenix is a balancer supplement, not a hard feed.  It is nutrient dense and concentrated. It may not look like much, but it packs a mighty punch! If your fibre levels and quality is good then it should suffice but again consult us to ensure digestible energy levels are being sufficiently met or if you are concerned in any way.
